Answer 2

The area of the gravel walk is 150 sq.m.
Step-by-step explanation:

Length of grass plot = 25 m

Breadth of grass plot = 22 m

We are given that A rectangular plot of grass 25m by 22m has a gravel walk 1.5m wide all around it on the outside.

So, outer length = 25+(1.5+1.5)= 28 m

Outer breadth =22+(1.5+1.5)=25 m

Area of Gravel walk = Outer area - Inner area

Area of gravel walk =

Area of gravel walk =
